Give it time, dear. Tinder and OKCupid didn't start out with millions of people. If we all give up on Alovoa because "nobody uses it", we'll never have a private alternative to the horrors out there.
Like Mastodon is to Twitter, or Lemmy to Reddit, this is our chance to create something big for years to come, together.
Eating a goddamn cockroach. The stuff of nightmares.
I remember reading somewhere that there was a contest in which the person that ate the most **living roaches in the least time won. It. Really. Did. Happen. What the almighty fack.
I read an article a while back about how one DM on Twitter led to a happy marriage. The correspondents had no prior relationship. Just a curious DM. I'm not endorsing the use of Twitter here, especially for dating.
Dating isn't always about marriage, though, and dating platforms are also about... casual sex. Yup. One-night stands. A lot of magic can happen via online dating once the connection is there. I don't see it as inherently bad or evil.
A lot of very personal information is exchanged on these type of sites, so it's very, very important it's a private AND secure platform.
Thanks so much for this opportunity to serve! I'll try my best!
I love data privacy, FOSS, and Lemmy!
I also love ostriches. They are so cute!
What do I hate? Meta, the company. And Google. And Steve Huffman. Alexis Ohanian potentially. And Amazon. And cockroaches. And surveillance capitalism!
I'm sure they'll get more models (for the frontpage) soon. In the meantime, they have a little more than twenty thousand registered users, and it's a very young platform.
